Dear Attendee,

It is a great pleasure and privilege to announce the upcoming RSSA Cardiac Imaging Course 2027.

This hands‑on, interactive teaching course will be led by internationally renowned thoracic and cardiac radiologists Dr Rami Neemtallah, Dr Hildo Lamb, and Dr Jesse Habets, together with distinguished local faculty Prof Leonie Scholtz, Dr Vijay Dahya, and Dr Andre du Plessis.

Cardiac imaging is a complex and rapidly evolving subspecialty, requiring a detailed understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and the specific requirements of referring cardiologists. Our esteemed faculty will guide participants through the latest applications of CTCA and CMR, while also highlighting promising new techniques on the horizon. Dedicated sessions will allow ample time to focus on post‑processing. With the growing demand for CTCA and CMR in daily practice, this course provides a valuable platform to strengthen expertise in addressing the world’s leading disease burden.

The program is designed for radiologists with intermediate to advanced knowledge and skills, but will also be highly relevant to generalist and subspecialist radiologists. It offers a practical approach to cardiac CT and MRI, covering common pathologies and potential pitfalls. Didactic lectures will be complemented by case‑based teaching on individual workstations, fostering group discussion and shared learning.

On behalf of the RSSA and SASOCI, we warmly welcome Dr Rami Neemtallah, Dr Hildo Lamb, and Dr Jesse Habets for this exciting course.

Kind regards,
